The Baja Aragon around Teruel in Spain is proving to be a difficult one for Erik and Anja van Loon. Especially the first day is a challenge for both baby carriages. Erik suffers from brake problems, but shows on the second day that the speed is there and that he is the fastest Can-Am. Anja finished in an handsome 23rd and is making great strides in the Can-Am.
“We actually didn't make a mistake,” Erik says. “Too bad about the brake cylinder yesterday so we didn't get as many miles. The team worked hard yesterday to get the car right again for today. And then we were the fastest Can-Am and drove a neat 14th time. Despite a lot of dust, we lose about 4 minutes. Hein did a super job, we made zero mistakes together. So in that respect, we are satisfied.”
Anja is happy with the strides she is making. “It was really a very difficult rally. A lot of dust and that just makes it difficult. But we drove very well and ended up 23rd. In the car, it went well with Floor together and we are very satisfied. Every rally, we make good progress and the speed is higher and higher. On to the next one!”
